Laser coagulation

Starburst veins on the face and neck do not create a health hazard, however, they may cause aesthetic discomfort and also indicate vascular problems. Laser coagulation of vessels on the face and the body is considered to be the most effective method of removal of broken capillaries and starburst veins.

Causes of starburst veins occurrence

Starburst veins or capillary networks are small branches of major veins that burst and leave visible marks in the form of red-purple angiomas or spiders (telangiectasias) on the skin

It is caused by the combination of contributory factors:

• vasodepression (vasorelaxation);
• increase of the pressure on minor vessels that makes them burst.

The prime causes that cause couperosis (starburst veins) are as follows:

• hereditary background;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• standing or sedentary job;
• hormone imbalance (taking oral contraceptives may cause couperosis);
• sunburns;
• pregnancy or breast feeding;
• sex and age (couperosis affects women more frequently than men, and, with age, vascular elasticity reduces, which causes ruptures of small capillaries).

Women more often have the necessity to remove facial capillaries using a laser during menopause. People with overweight or obesity often suffer from couperosis, as well as patients with pancreatic diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (arterial hypertension, vascular atherosclerosis, etc.).

Methods of treatment of couperosis

There are several methods of treatment of couperosis in modern cosmetology:

• pharmaceutical (agents that cause vessel constriction and enhancement);
• cosmetological (masks and scrubs aimed at constriction of vessels and pores, and machine cosmetology);
• surgical (sclerodermia, most often used for removal of burst blood vessels on the legs);
• laser coagulation of the vessels of face and body.

According to the clinical research studies performed, the simplest and the most effective method is laser removal of capillaries on face and body.

In Kyiv at Dobrobut Clinic Chain, we use the modern laser apparatus with IPL (Intense Pulse Light) system, which is the intense light emission with a broad range of wave lengths. Before the procedure a cosmetician sets up the wave length for the required impact depth, the intense light impulse penetrates into the skin and is absorbed by hemoglobin transforming into the thermal energy. Sealing of the walls of affected vessels occurs when heating, and the vessels become invisible.

The system is equipped with a cooling head, so the procedure is painless. Laser removal of starburst veins on face and body may last 15 to 40 minutes depending on the area of influence. All laser cosmetic procedures in Kyiv at Dobrobut Clinic Chain are performed using the system of augmented reality and contrast enhancement, which allows for seeing the vascular pattern more clearly in the back lighting, and highlight and make visible even the vessels that cannot be seen by the unaided eye using infrared light. It allows for performing more efficient procedures of higher quality.

The result of the procedure on minor vessels can be seen immediately, larger capillaries up to 1.5 mm disappear after 2 to 6 procedures, which has a positive effect on the cost of treatment.

Preparation for the procedure

It is not recommended to visit a solarium and to sunbathe 2 weeks before the laser coagulation of the vessels.

The procedure is performed after a preliminary consultation by a doctor only.

Laser coagulation is not performed during pregnancy and breast feeding. It is also forbidden to perform the procedure in the following conditions:

Recovery period

There is no rehabilitation period after the laser exposure, and you can return to your usual lifestyle immediately.

However, there are some restrictions that will help to achieve more lasting result from the procedure:

• you should not sunbathe, visit a sauna or baths within 2 weeks after laser coagulation;
• you should not undergo chemical peeling or apply masks on the skin in the areas exposed to the laser;

Photo removal of pigmentation

Hyperpigmentation can occur at every age. It is not a symptom by itself that indicates health problems. However, the procedure for removal of such an aesthetic defect is rather popular.

What is pigmentation?

The skin begins to produce melanin under the influence of external negative factors (sun and wind). Its task is to protect cells from destruction. The older the person is or the more often he/she is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, the more melanin is accumulated in the tissues.

Melanin is a pigment that darkens hair, iris and birthmarks. Stains from light brown to dark brown emerge in the places of its accumulation on the skin called hyperpigmentation.

In the places where the melanin is accumulated, the skin becomes dry and loses its elasticity, which results in emerging first signs of aging and drying out of the skin. That is why hyperpigmentation removal is one of the procedures of facial and body skin rejuvenation.

Who suffers the most from hyperpigmentation

Melanin is produced more actively in people with fair skin and hair, blue eyes. The skin of such people is more sensitive to sunlight and prone to sunburns, so more melanin is needed for its protection.

The amount of pigment also increases in the aged skin, as the negative impact of ultraviolet has a cumulative effect.

People who like tanning can also find the hyperpigmentation on the skin of face and body, mainly in shoulder and arm areas.

Methods of pigmentation removal

Modern cosmetology and dermatology have many pigmentation treatment techniques:

• pharmaceutical products (whitening creams, peelings);
• hardware techniques.

Photo removal of pigmentation using a laser is one of the most efficient ways.

We use the modern hardware technique BBL Sciton for photo rejuvenation of facial and body skin and photo treatment of pigmentation at Dobrobut Clinic Chain in Kyiv. This technique allows for approaching the issues of removing excess pigment in a comprehensive manner: the treated skin not only whitens but also rejuvenates due to the stimulating effect of light on the collagen production.

BBL Sciton technique allows for quick and painless performing the photo removal of pigment stains. Intense flashes of laser light with the adjustable wavelength penetrate into the skin where the pigment is located and destroy melanin cells. The skin lightens already after the first procedure, and, in case of large accumulations of melanin, the complete skin whitening occurs in 2 to 5 procedures.

How the procedure is performed

It is not recommended to sunbathe 2 weeks before the procedure, and it is also recommended to reduce the level of physical activity.

The procedure requires no special preparation. Due to the cooling effect of the laser device, the procedure is as comfortable and painless as possible for the patient.

The procedure lasts 20–30 minutes depending on the impact area.

It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight impact on the skin within 2 weeks after the procedure, not to undergo chemical peeling or apply masks. It is not advisable to go to baths, sauna or swimming pool. You should not use alcohol-containing skin care products within 2–3 days after the procedure.

Contraindications

Photo treatment of pigment stains is not performed for the people with the following conditions:

• oncology;
• pancreatic diabetes;
• acute exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• acute respiratory diseases with elevated body temperature;
• herpetic rash on the skin.

You should refrain from the procedure during pregnancy and breast feeding.

The procedure of removal of pigment stains using light has certain advantages in comparison to other techniques:

• immediate result;
• utmost comfort during the procedure;
